Im in Massachusetts and I just finished my Associates and will be transferring in January. during the 2 years at community college I applied for every scholarship available and actually got some of them (I have a 3.97 gpa and it covered about half my tuition). So I'd suggest you apply for whatever you can and see what happens. Also, Massachusetts now offers in-state tuition to us which is huge. Good luck!
